Incorrect icon for external USB stick in Finder on iMac

I have Tahoe on iMac and everything is OK. I have a minor issue with an icon of my external USB stick (which works well...). It is called Store N Go, no problem with it.


If I open Finder I see the following



As you can see the Icon is not right. It is the icon of "Sync", a cloud service I have and use. The same icon appears a few lines above, where I have a link to the Sync folder.


However, if I click on "get info" I see this:



which is a correct Icon. The same correct Icon I see in Disk Utility. I have gone through the usual step of using "safe mode" etc. but the issue (very minor) persists.


Any idea?


Thanks

Yes, the following steps (which I read in a message) fixed the problem:


System Settings > Extensions > Sync, and then click the "i" button (information). Then turn off "File Provider" and then relaunch the Finder


even if I think something is not working as expected....


Thanks
